I went to take a look at a video on some new Amendment and ended up finding the video linked below on the Daily Show. It was almost like I was supposed to find it. I agree with it. I hate it when someone tells me to be positive, when I am still fighting to do what I want despite everything I've been through. I get kicked for expressing my honest pain or opinion.
I don't think our society is healthy if we kick people so much when they are failing. We push someone who is incredibly able to do well in the world down by telling them they are negative when they are having a healthy reaction to a really crappy situation. .
It is very damaging for people to kick you when they have no idea what you have been through. I so agree. I am going to let the video speak for itself now.
Please keep in mind I am a liberal. I am also a logical person. I am a spiritual person. I think you need to fight to believe in yourself. But don't tell someone what to think or feel. Let others express their pain. We need to learn to communicate with each other again and not be afraid of each other and that some crazy attitude that one person failing will rub off on you and cause you to fail. Seriously, if someone can overcome something as bad as cancer and still want to fight for life, don't kick them for their pain. Recognize the difference between irrational complaints and legitimate concern. Positive change sometimes needs someone saying "Hey I am having a bad day. You need to know about it so that we both can have a better day tomorrow." I personally don't need to know I am negative for being real, humane or for continuing to fight to be the person I want to be. I mean how is telling someone you were wronged or that you are fighting for your life negative. Think how you would feel if you were really sick and someone just gave you a smiley face and told you that you were wrong for complaining about the pain so shut up. Next time you are really in pain, and we all get there sooner or later, really think about that..... What cancer patients need sometimes is an ear, not your opinion.
